Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (September 2009):

This well respected volume has been regularly updated and expanded roughly every four years since it was first published in 1988. Though not mentioned in the title it does also include Postal Stationery, Newfoundland Revenue Stamps, Coins etc.

New in this volume are the Postal Rates of the BNA Colonies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia; British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island; the Bahamas Special Delivery Stamps for use in Canada,; Colombia SCADTA overprints as they relate to Canada. The semi-official airmail stamps of the private air companies in Canada are now included, albeit it in chronological order, rather than alphabetically by company. All the previous sections have been revised, updated and expanded in the light of new knowledge, information and research by many collectors.

As to be expected the stamps are dealt with in great detail, and include proofs and colour trials, varieties, information and pricing of Plate and Imprint blocks, imperforates etc. Numbers printed, or quantities known are provided when available.; Airmail stamps are treated in the same depth, and augmented with an extensive section covering first flights etc.

For Newfoundland, Postal Stationery (also Canada), Franking Machines, Perfins, Coins and Revenues are also well covered. There is an extensive section of some 80pp listing some 5000 Newfoundland. picture postcards.; This is followed by a further 60pp section of Advertising Business covers and corner cards.

For the postmark collector and postal historian there are extensive lists of post offices for each of the Provinces, with opening and closing dates, types of canceller in use, and population numbers where known, and including TPOs and RPOs etc.

There are very detailed sections providing a vast amount of information regarding Postal Rates, not only for internal mail, but for worldwide destinations as well, for each of the Provinces.

The whole is contained in over 600pp on matt stock, spirally bound to lie flat when open.; It is profusely illustrated in full colour throughout, not only of the stamps, but also proofs, varieties, covers etc.

All prices are given in US Dollars for mint, used and used on cover, and reflect current retail prices.

It comes with a magnifier, perforation gauge and a loose folded map of Newfoundland and Labrador.
